".it is clearly, IMHO anyhow, a complete rejection of the traditional, deity based notion of spirituality. This is an individualistic, humanistic form of spirituality, quite distinct and apart from traditional religious perspectives."
Again you can have those ideas in "religion" to a point.
As Jerry said above the idea is "to forget yourself is to see everything else." That's very difficult and even mystical, and in the end the real point behind mind expansion.
It is the real goal of religion. People, being limited and temporary, just have a hard time on trying to explain conscious existence which sort of is God.
Maybe you just disagree that the Deity is conscious existence. Anyway, the big wheel turns by the grace of God, and blues for Allah as God wills.
I didn't plan it but The Wheel came up as I typed that last sentence:
